NDLEA Declares 4 Associates of Drug Lord, Barryshine Wanted

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has declared four suspected drug dealers wanted for their involvement in multiple trafficking activities.

Femi Babafemi, spokesperson of the NDLEA, said in a statement on Monday that the suspects are associates of a Lagos drug kingpin, Suleiman Aremu Ganiu (a.k.a Barryshine, Ejeoto), who is facing criminal charges at a federal high court in Lagos.

He stated that the agency declared the suspects wanted following an order of the federal high court in Lagos.

“Those wanted for their involvement in multiple drug trafficking activities include Olarenwaju Ramon Abdulai (a.k.a Alhaji Loyingbo); Oluwafemi Akande Abidoye (a.k.a Igbono, Baba Eje, Ade Iwaya, Femi Iwaya); Olumuyiwa Olufemi Ilori (a.k.a Murphy) and Alate Kafy Bakare Bukki of Kaffy Travels,” the statement reads.

Babafemi said the leader of the cartel, Aremu (Barryshine), was arrested on August 26, 2024, two years after coming under the radar of the anti-narcotics agency.

He has been charged to court and currently on bail.
